Native Hawaiians in support of TMT

questions about TMT future projected electricity cost or use

I'm obviously missing the point, then: what difference does TMT's power use make?

Would it be "less desecration" if TMT was fully solar-powered with no possibility of electricity from PGV?

smaller telescopes like the Keck's telescope atop Mauna Kea already pay 1 million a year

Again: who cares how much the telescopes pay HELCO? They can afford the cost, and it creates local jobs.
